Why does most new music suck?


Ok I will have some exclusions to my statement. I'm not talking about classical or jazz. My comment is mostly pointed to rock and pop releases. Don't even get me started on rap.... I don't consider it music. I will admit that I'm an old foggy but come on, where are some talented new groups? I grew up with the Beatles, Who, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix etc. I sample a lot of new music and the recordings are terrible. The engineers should be fired for producing over compressed shrill garbage. The talent seems to be lost or doesn't exist. I have turned to some folk/country or blues music. It really is a sad state of affairs....Oh my god, I'm turning into my parents.

Rpeluso,
I am 61, and am very open and willing to find good new music from any source, but I have to admit that a lot of what I hear recommended here and through other printed sources turns out to be very musically disappointing for me when I go to Youtube to have a listen.
Another example would be the bands that appear on CBS Sunday Morning. Every week I hold out hope that I will discover a new artist that really moves me, only to find a band of 4 or 5 thirty somethings, who seem to be very nice people, making music that sounds strangely similar to the band that played the week before.
